Founded in 2010, Sabio is a tech training provider offering 13- and 17-week full-time coding bootcamps and a 21-week part-time bootcamp in Los Angeles, Orange County, and online. Sabio specializes in Mobile, Front End, Back End, Source Control, Database, and Development platforms across the full stack, and students can specialize in Node.js or .Net to help jumpstart their careers. By incorporating project-based learning into its curriculum, it offers students a comprehensive experience of all phases of software development. It was founded by tech industry innovators, and it is now taught exclusively by experts from companies such as Fox, Gamefly, Stack Overflow and TMZ.
Prior programming experience is not required, but applicants with prior experience are given a faster track. A technical assessment is available immediately or within four weeks of the 17-week program for full-time students. The application process at Sabio identifies motivated and engaged students from diverse backgrounds. Many past students have advanced degrees in Computer Science, Engineering, Musicology, Psychology, Finance, Mathematics, among others. It is essential that all applicants have a great personality, work ethic, and be able to solve basic logic problems.
Sabio's curriculum prepares students for entry-level developer jobs by incorporating a real-world project for a client and four weeks of career guidance. Prior to starting the intensive bootcamp, students receive four weeks of pre-work conducted by instructors. Every student at Sabio has access to extended mentorship and a five-year professional development program. Sabio instructors have over 100 years combined experience in software engineering. Small class sizes and expert instruction give students an edge when it comes to competing for jobs. A Sabio instructor must be an executive or C-level executive before teaching in the classroom, and must undergo an intensive vetting process. It provides students with a high-level education and a unique real-life perspective that prepares them for a more elevated career path.
A California-approved company, Sabio innovates based on market knowledge, experience, and expertise.
Bottom line: This bootcamp works. I got a job offer within the first 2 weeks of graduation, and then even a better offer 2 weeks after. It helped me accomplish exactly what I needed to do: find my first dev job, and more: an amazing first dev job, so many valuable connections.
Sabio is effective because Liliana and Gregorio have established a tried and true process that just works: Prework, Lab, cohort (with the big project), interview prep, then post grad support. However, it'...

Sabio is effective because Liliana and Gregorio have established a tried and true process that just works: Prework, Lab, cohort (with the big project), interview prep, then post grad support. However, it's important to note that your experience may vary WILDLY depending on your campus, project lead, and your actual project.
They start you off with 1 month of prework to get everyone up to relatively the same speed. The basic skills you will learn are JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, and CSS in the first 4-6 weeks.
Then, the actual cohort of 12-13 weeks (depending on the season) starts you off nice and easy, then leads to a deep dive into a work setting that mimics that of a professional dev once you start your big project, which takes up majority of the cohort. You will learn the meat and potato of full stack development: ReactJs, C# .NET, SQL, etc. There is great value in this setting because your potential employers will appreciate that you have experience in standard software development (GIT, TFS, Agile etc), giving you a huge leg up against other candidates.
The Big Project: This is probably the main selling point of your resume. Sabio connects each cohort with an entrepreneur who needs an MVP. You get a project lead (one of the 3 Sabio instructors) and develop a real web application in a professional setting. For most Sabio fellows on the job hunt, the way they sell this "start up company" work experience is CRITICAL to impressing potential employers.
As mentioned before, this is where some fellows may face problems. Personally, I was fortunate enough to have a great lead and a great project. Not everyone will be so lucky. Your quality of instruction and experience will vary wildly depending on your campus (each campus has an on site instructor), who your project lead is, and overall, your actual project. Your lead is not always the instructor from your campus. You don't choose your project lead or the project, so it's a bit of a Russian roulette.
The last two weeks of cohort always seems to be experimental, and the quality here may again vary. For me, they provided valuable skills for interview prep which landed me 2 job offers.
The instructors provide amazing, high quality post grad support. Liliana and Gregorio have many connections in the industry, and they will definitely help you out during your job hunt. Gregorio and my Project Lead Brijesh really showed how much they cared when they tended to all my questions and doubts.
In conclusion, Sabio is the best choice for a full stack development bootcamp. That being said, just doing the bootcamp will not get you a job; 3 months will go by very quickly. It has its faults, but ultimately how much effort and dedication you put in will determine the outcome.
